RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22356 to transition two Mental Health Clinical Specialist-Project (VQS2) positions #14718 and #14637 at salary plan and grade level TC2-1384 ($4,980-$7,394) and incumbents into the Merit System's Mental Health Clinical Specialist (VQSB) classification at salary plan and grade level TC2-1384 ($4,980-$7,394) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, there will be no cost associated with this action. (100% cost neutral Mental Health Realignment)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to transition two Mental Health Clinical Specialist-Project positions #14718 and #14637 and incumbents into the merit system. The incumbents have met the provisions for transition from project to the merit system in accordance with PMR Section 1603.1 - Transfer of Project Positions.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Section 1603.1 of the Personnel Management Regulations states that when the Board of Supervisors establishes as regular service a program initially established by the Board for a specific limited period as part of an approved project, employees who have served in Project positions for at least one (1) year shall be included in the merit system if the Director of Human Resources recommends such inclusion, the Board of Supervisor approves the classification and its addition to the merit system, and the employees were originally appointed to the project position(s) from an eligible list on an open competitive basis.

Both incumbents were appointed from an eligible list on an open competitive basis and have served more than one (1) year in that classification. One incumbent was appointed to Project position #14637 on January 14, 2015 and the other incumbent was appointed to position #14718 on June 12, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, incumbents will not receive the benefits of being a merit system employee.
